| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Senegal occupies the centre of the field, depicting a quartered shield supported by two palm fronds and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The arms are rendered in fine detail against a mirror-polished proof field. The legend REPUBLIQUE DU SENEGAL arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 250 FRANCS CFA is inscribed in the lower field beneath the shield. The motto UN PEUPLE UN BUT UNE FOI appears on a ribbon at the base of the arms. |

| Additional information |
Senegal issues its coinage under the West African Economic and Monetary Union framework, with the CFA franc governed by the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest — meaning Paris, not Dakar, has historically controlled the currency's peg to the euro and its predecessor, the French franc. This piece belongs to a wave of small-format fractional gold issues that flooded the collector market in the late 2010s, produced by European private mints on behalf of WAEMU member states largely as bullion novelties with no meaningful domestic circulation.
